Junior Kickers

Junior Kickers is run as a 10 week course to encourage familiarity and confidence amongst attendees. It seeks to provide both boys and girls aged 3 and 4 with an introduction to football, using fun games and activities to teach the games primary skills. Coaches pay particular focus on developing children’s co-ordination, balance, ball movement and self confidence. Each 45 minute session is taught on a coach to child ratio at the Stevenage Borough Football Academy in a safe and friendly learning environment.

Junior kickers is designed into three ability groups with beginners and intermediate aimed at 3 and 4 year olds and advanced groups for children moving towards school starting age. Our advance groups seek to provide transition from mini kickers to Soccer Skool Pay & Play, allowing players to slowly and safely adapt to the style of play found in Soccer Skool Pay & Play.
